RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - Dan - 21 Sep 2015 Moving on... Riverside's Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse 4978 (NK54 NUH) is the first vehicle to receive vinyls to complete the corporate livery.

Better be something good - i like it the way the corporate livery was. It is just a big GNE logo isn't it?

It is just a big GNE logo isn't it? No - there are graphics above the windows similar to those used on the Key Card circle (ie icons of the North East - The Angel etc). It's still pretty basic, but an improvement on the plain red nevertheless.

It sounds decent, better than just plain red buses going around... they should put it on buses as they're coming out of the paint shop (only buses going "Go North East" though, saves time, meaning the bus can go straight out in service as "Go North East" RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - Diamond One - 21 Sep 2015 (21 Sep 2015, 3:01 pm)Dan wrote No - there are graphics above the windows similar to those used on the Key Card circle (ie icons of the North East - The Angel etc).Could you do me a massive favour could you show me a photo or do a net of it please and I'll favour it on Flickr as soon as I see it RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - Michael - 21 Sep 2015 Go North East @gonortheast Services are unable to serve Fawcett St in Sunderland due to an incident, we are diverting via St Michaels Way. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - South Tyne Lad - 21 Sep 2015 Scania L94UB Wright Solar 4935 has entered service for the first time at Washington today. First being seen around 7:00AM and now just been seen again heading to Shields.

The distinctive styling around the lights really stands out.

Ye it looks like it, i wonder if all 4 will go Black for ToonLink, although i don't think the PVR won't go up by that much with changes (unless they want them to stop interworking?), or they are including a new service in the brand, which as yet to be put on VOSA? For all we know, the 15/15A might be getting branded, using a black base... with the 4th Omnicity acting as a spare..... But i'll go for at least 2 going Black for the ToonLink to stop interworking...

It's good for me liking omnicities, especially if they go to Riverside or Percy Main RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - Dan - 21 Sep 2015 (21 Sep 2015, 4:05 pm)NK53 TKT wrote Maybe for the KEY? It's not a promotional livery for Go North East's Key Card - I'm led to believe that this livery (or similar) will be rolled out fleet-wide on vehicles in red fleet livery to complete the corporate livery. Not sure what the arrangements are with the branding company, but I'd imagine they'd target each depot one at a time and whiz through as many as possible..?

I didn't see the offside but I imagine it'll be the same design. It's clear that the new livery has been designed with adverts in mind - it'll look slightly less bland when a full-size advert is applied. I think it would have been a bit better with a Go North East logo above the rear wheel arch (similar to the old "Northern" branding). A huge improvement on plain red, regardless. Go North East: 4935 / Y935ERG by Daniel Graham, on Flickr RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2015 - citaro5284 - 21 Sep 2015 Just reading Marcus's review and he mentioned driver changeovers at North Shields. There is no canteen at North Shields anymore, so the bulk of the crew changeovers will take place in or around Percy Main (like before North Shields opened). |
